changing the data requires that the file is re-encoded to MP3, which will slightly reduce the sound quality. A program called MP3Gain can do this: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ Actually, mp3gain does avoid any quality loss by directly operating on the compressed MP3 data. Sorry, I didn't write th...

I'm not sure what you are doing, but the easy way to copy a track (mono or stereo) to a new track, is to use the "duplicate" command (shortcut Ctrl+D)
1) Double click on the track to select it.
2) Press Ctrl+D

You would get better quality recording as uncompressed audio and then converting directly to MP3 format than going through an intermediate conversion of MP4 format. How good the actual end result of recording directly into Audacity is will largely depend on the microphone/interface that you use. Doe...

Let's say that we have a simple waveform like this: 1.png When we digitize the waveform, what we are doing is "measuring" the amplitude (vertical position in the drawing) repeatedly many times per second, as indicated by the green lines: 2.png These measurements give us a series of points,...
